How to Remove Dried Blood Stains from Mattresses?

The last thing people want on their mattress is a bloodstain making them look like a bed from a serial killer crime scene, because, let’s face it, they look messy, they stain the mattress, they kind of get rigid after drying when left unattended. Now you can’t blame yourself because some things are involuntary, including menstrual blood and minor cuts and wounds which you have no idea how you got, which results in the staining of the bed, through the sheets to the mattress.

You can’t buy a new one just for a stain, so one should be aware of some remedies which can help to remove it within regular mattress cleaning and without making it a big mess.

Some of The Major Ways to Remove Rigid Blood Stains from your Mattress Are:-

  • Baking Soda – Baking soda is a good cleaning agent to clean your stained mattress found in all homes, especially when it comes to removing stains. It is very helpful in mattress cleaning which involves blood stain removal. All you have to do is-
    • Make a paste of baking soda and water.
    • Apply this paste on the stained area and don’t rub it in haste.
    • Gently spread it and let dry for at least 30 minutes.
    • Remove the dry paste with a tissue and wipe that area with a damp cloth and dry.
  • Hydrogen Peroxide-CornStarch and Salt Solution – Hydrogen peroxide is a factory-grade cleaning agent, meant for stains much tougher than a bloodstain on the mattress, but it can be used to remove small stains on small levels too during mattress cleaning. All you need is corn starch because it soaks the pungent smell and also thickens the paste, along with some salt to increase the cleaning action, by-
    • Mix two parts hydrogen peroxide with one part corn starch and a pinch of salt. 
    • Put it on the stained area with a spoon and spread with the bulged part of a spoon or a toothbrush to evenly reach every point.
    • Let it dry for 30 minutes.
    • Remove it with a dry tissue and wipe the affected area with a damp cloth and pat dry.
  • Ammonia Solution – Ammonia, although being a good cleaning compound, threatens the molecular integrity of the polymer/cloth material, so there is a caution when it is used. During mattress cleaning Perth, ammonia should be mixed in very fewer amounts in water, so that while removing the bloodstains, it doesn’t harm the material’s integrity. The rest procedure is-
    • Mix ammonia in water making a dilute solution.
    • Apply the solution on the stained area with the use of a cloth or a tissue.
    • Pat it until the stain sinks on the cloth, then remove the excess ammonia using a dry towel or a tissue.
    • Take precautions while handling the solution to keep your hands and your other body parts safe.
